| In contrast to the August heat, we’re finding ourselves transfixed on thoughts of escaping with cooler materials, such as stone, metal, and glass. These materials evoke a mindset of the seasons and senses to come—white marble reminiscent of snow-capped mountains or glass that stirs memories of the mirrored surface of a crystal-blue lake. When integrated into a table design, they deliver a crisp, polished feel that marries functionality with aesthetics. This week, we’re highlighting five captivating table designs which feature materials that are irresistibly cool to the touch. |

| SIMOON |
| Patricia Urquiola |
| Named for a Simoon, a “hot, sand-laden desert wind,” design icon Patricia Urquiola created a cool, textured glass table that instantly invites you to run your fingers over its surface which is coated with a fine grit made from ground Murano glass. Urquiola consistently employs a masterful understanding of color, light, and form, mixing these elements with unmatched expertise. Available in amethyst, light blue and topaz. |

| PK61A |
| Poul Kjærholm |
| The PK61A™ is an enlarged version of Poul Kjærholm’s PK61™ low table. Choose from a trio of tabletop materials—timeless granite, opulent marble, or sleek glass. The surface not only serves as a canvas for your style but also adds a tactile pleasure—cool to the touch, a respite from the summer’s warmth. The architectural base of satin stainless steel is crafted meticulously, resulting in a minimalist masterpiece. |

| HB 120 |
| Horst Brüning |
| In 1963, Horst Brüning set up an architecture and design office in Stuttgart, Germany. During this time, he came in contact with architect duo Fabricius & Kastholm, which led to international recognition and success, and inspired the birth of the HB 120 Dining Table. This enduring classic is the epitome of sleekness, combining metallic chrome-plated steel with a tabletop available in glass or marble. The repetition of circles in the design leads to a beautiful harmony, which is enhanced by how the base and tabletop complement one another through contrasting materials. The result is a timeless table with the potential to fully transform your dining space. |

Designer Luca Nichetto explains: “With Lato, I wanted to keep the simplicity and streamline it into a timeless side table in a style that could easily be the center of attention.” Available in warm black and Emperador marble, or ivory white and Cream Diva marble. |
